Well, here we go..

After all the waiting, I think we are actually going to give this labor thing a shot.

I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for this to actually happen, but it seems like Dom is actually having some kind of consistent contractions. So it could be anytime in the next two days.

Honestly, I was going a little stir-crazy last week. All I wanted was to see this baby out of the belly for the first time. All I wanted to do was to hold her. But in the next morning I would get this weirdest feeling that I couldn't make it happen. I couldn't possibly be a good father.

Did I have any business being a Dad? Did I have any business being around a woman when she had a baby, much less my wife? Well... I had a little break down, then got it together and realized, if I couldn't do this, who would? I'm the Dad! No one else! This is my deal! Me and my wife!

Well, I have done nothing but pray this weekend and I am ready to take this on. Now with Dom having the contractions every hour, I just want to do what it is I am supposed to do. I'm excited, nervous, and scared all at the same time.

I just hope I don't pass out.

10 Days Away!

I wanted to do a few things:

1. Thank everyone for making the shower so great for Dominique and myself! It was so much fun to see everyone and Dominique and I were both overwhelmed with everyone's generosity!

2. Dom has not dropped or diallated or any of that good stuff, so we are still on hold, waiting for this baby to come out!

Dom's belly has really popped out and she looks amazing. Work has been good to the both of us and Grandma Lemieux and Aunt Brynn were able to make it out for the shower. Now we are just putting together furniture, trying to ride out the rain, and hope that we can close on the house that we purchased.

We were blessed that we were able to come to terms with our landlords to buy the house that we are currently living in the top floor of. It is a small move to the ground floor, but one that is needed with the growing family.

Pray for us with all the transitions as we enter this important time!

Peace!
